In Memory of Maggie FurlOng.

Death comes to all sooner or later, and is
one event of our lives, and the lives OF those
most near and dear to US which we expect
and dread. But when death comes to the
aged and infirm, to those that have lived
long and e%ventful lives, fought the battles
OF adversely, met defeat with q courage and
unwavering fortitude to try again. and at
last reached success were the crown to Law
down in the last sweet and peaceful sleep in
rest unbroken to such as close their eyes in
our sad and solemn presence, wefsel to say:
"Well done, Thou good and faithful serv-
ant enter into the presence OF He who
gavest and b taketh away. But when
death enters the home of youth ana
beauty. robs those that dwell there in
hearts Of love OF their most treasures just
blooming into perfect womanhood with the
roses OF innocence and purity shedding
sweet fragrance around them. We cannot
feel the reconciliation in the promise that
I'VE shall meet again." and bow to the
will OF our Father who art in Heaven. In
the death of Miss FurIong, it seems doubly
sad to part with one so young. But let us
ask those that mourn for their loss to try
to feel that it is heavens gain, and that
angels rejoice.
Dear, sweet Maggie is only sleeping to-day.
Soft be her pillow and holy ner rest,
Sweetly she slumber., and snftly they saw

The relations OF labor and capital pre-
sent for solution one OF the most interest
ing and important questions of the day
for the prosperity of the nation depends
On the harmonious corporation OF these
two great elements Of the people. There is
no natural conflict between labor and cap.
itai. There should be none between EN-.
ployer and employe. Capital invested in
the industries OF the country and the devel-
opment Of it's resources gives employment
to labor. The employment OF labor re-
suits in profit to the capital invested. The
industries are never so safely prosperous
al when labor is contented. Ill-paid, dis
satisfied labor may bring itfuI success to
capital, but discomfort breeds trouble and
dis~satisiaction at the mine, the factory
and the workbench, and inevitably makes
itself felt in the counting-room and in the
market.

THE PENITENTIARY BILL.

The bill introduced in tho Council provid
ing for the Territory to contract convict
labor in return for tho erection Of = Terri
torial prison at Billings. was made the oe
casion for a mass meeting at Helena last
Sunday. Our capital letter, which appears
elsewhere in this issue, gives the gist OF the
proceedings.
The proposition as set forth in the bill is
briefly this: Messrs. John R. King and
Thomas s. Ash offer to build a Territorial
prison at Billings of stone, capable Of hous.
ing $50 prisoners, and at the expiration OF
ten years from October LIST, 1887, they will
give it and 40 acres ofland to the Territory,
and it is presumed unencumbesed with
debt.
As a condition precedent to the making
OF this gift, Messrs. King & Ash require the
labor OF all the Territorial convlcts for tho
time above specified and whom they will
board at the rate OF IS cents each per day.
They will also enter into bonds in a sufi-
cient sun to guard, feed, clothe, medically
attend and house all the convicts for the
time.
The prime reason, as it appears upon the
surface, these gentlemen are willing to enter
into this contract is this; They own or
control a practically inexhsustible quarry
OF fine building stone at Billings. They are
that with the labor OF the con-
victs they can build the prison with the
material and proftably ship stone to other
points.
The objection urged against the measure
ny the Helena meeting was that the labor
Of the convicts might he used in dire: It CON- |
petion with honest labor as the bill does
not provide they shall be exclusively en-
in getting out rock. One speaker
igured out that with an annual average
u one hundred convicts the contractors |
would receive from the Territory over
$500, O0O-to he exact 1910, 25O-for
BOARD and about $3.50, 900 in I labor for
which sums they would return to the Terri
DRY a $125, 600 penitentiary. This does
lot present the appearance OF a money
making scheme on the part OF the Terri
DRY, the profits seeming to be on the right
ide OF the ledger for Messrs King & Ash.
This, however, is not the question which
rovokes the antagonism OF the labor ele-
'ent OF the Territory against tho bill.
While conceding that criminals should be
squired to work, at least to the extent OF
arning their care and keeping, the work
'smen OF Montana very justly protest
sainst the employment OF convict ] abor in
requiring skilled work. I
Several amendments to the bill were sus- :
'sted, but it is doubtful whether q bill can
drawn which will be satisfactory to the
'ntractors, to tho Territory and to the

ct labor is not viewed with favor at the !, ,
